I'm not wearing white for my wedding and I want to wear a red cloak instead of a veil. But my fiance although isn't a catholic his family is. And several friends of mine who are catholic were upset when I mentioned I wanted to wear a red cloak. They said its not good for a bride to wear red. They didn't mind other colors but red they said was bad. They didn't know why, only that its not recommended. I thought red symbolize love and passion. Can anyone tell me why red is bad?

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?
In Asian cultures I believe it is a sign of luck & fortune. And usually white is meant for death/afterlife.
So if you want wear it, it is your day, wear whatever you want!

I was wondering the same thing. What is your FH going to wear?
I think a red cloak is fine. Like many others said, in Asian cultures (and others) it's good fortune to wear red and even expected.

YUP thats it! As for what my FI is going to wear,that is still up in the air. You know how men are, they don't want to bothered. He is not wearing a tuxe though, that would just not fit in at all!

I kinda figured he wouldn't be wearing a tux - that's why I asked!

If you're wearing a b;ack leather fetish outfit as a weding gown, why do you care about the red cloak> I think my family would be more concerned with me being half naked and in black leather than wearing a cloak. At least the cloak covers something. You're already breaking the rules, you might as well go all the way.
Many asian brides wear red for luck and fortune and I'm seeing moe and more red infused traditional wedding gowns, so you might as well go for it. Your coice could not be less traditional if you tried, so really I think at this point, anything goes!

Looks more like an S&M outfit than a wedding dress.
Less Electric slide, more **s whipping.

I think she is. Look at her profile pic.
I think it's your wedding and you can do whatever makes you hapy, but I can't see people having a problem with a red cloack if they don't already have a problem with the 'gown', especially if it's for a religious reason.

Re: Can a Bride wear RED?
i have to agree here... that outfit is NOT something to be worn for a wedding....
Im confused though. She said her FH family is catholic and was against red but not against wearing that?

That's what I'm saying!
Look, whatever blows your (leather) skirt up. It's not my wedding, but why worry about catholics being agaisnt the cloak when you're gonna be 1/2 naked and in leather. it doens't add up to me... My catholic family would drop dead on the spot if I wore something like that.
My opinion, save it for the ren faire and the bedroom !
